This study compared children's actual telephone discourse skills with pretend telephone discourse skills. The purpose of this study was to determine whether pretend telephone use represents actual telephone discourse skills by examining the similarities and differences between actual telephone discourses and pretend telephone discourse. In addition, this study provided information regarding the types and frequencies of pragmatic skills observed during real and pretend telephone conversations. Results indicated that there was no statistical relationship between children's actual and pretend telephone conversation. However, analysis of the quantity and quality of pragmatic skills demonstrated by the subjects provided insight to the nature of children's pretend telephone discourse. This information could be valuable to clinicians who use toy telephones as a tool help evaluate pragmatic skills.
